Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups (150g) Rice Krispie cereal
- 10 oz (284g) mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter
- Food coloring (green, purple, or orange)
- Candy eyes
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and set aside. Gather candy eyes and sprinkles.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter over low heat. Add 10 oz (284g) mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in a few drops of food coloring until the desired color is achieved.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture into a large mixing bowl with 6 cups (150g) Rice Krispie cereal. Use a rubber spatula to mix until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Grease your hands or wear gloves to shape the mixture into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Press candy eyes into the balls while they’re still slightly sticky. Add sprinkles if desired.
- Place the decorated balls on the prepared baking sheet and let them set for about 15 minutes.
Notes
[‘Work quickly as the marshmallow mixture can harden as it cools.’, ‘Use food-safe gloves to make shaping the balls easier.’, ‘Experiment with swirling two colors together for a marbled effect.’, ‘If candy eyes don’t stick well, use a tiny bit of melted marshmallow as glue.’]
